Do they fit to any motorbike or are they model specific? Where do you buy them from?

Thought I'd try out one of the Halfords 120% brighter headlight bulbs seeing as they've been on 'sale' for the past 9 or 10 times I've been in there. Can't say I agree with the 120% brighter part but it's definitely and improvement over the original and its a much whiter light which I prefer.

I trust this will suffice?



If so next challenge

Your bike and a large construction or agricultural vehicle


I'm thinking JCB diggers, dump trucks, combines, large tractors, shovel loaders etc etc
More of less anything that has wheels bigger than your whole bike 👍

Fazer8 / FZ8 / Re: Hateful 8
« on: 14 October 2017, 09:52:57 pm »
To be fair I've not heard anyone slagging off the Fz8, as above I've barely heard anyone mention it. It just wasn't a very popular bike when new so I'm not sure there's that many about. From what I gather it's basically an fz1n with less power, only slightly less weight and none adjustable suspension that doesn't really cost any less. I personally went for the 1000 just because I'd rather have more power than I need than less power than i want (if that makes sense) the way I saw it was that if I bought the 8 I might have wanted the 1 but by buying the 1 I'm never gonna want the 8

So having learnt my lesson last winter I've decided to try and protect the fz1 this year and bought a can of the good stuff.
My question now is what do I actually do with it? haha its supposed to stop corrosion but I'm not sure what to spray it on? Surely the exhaust will just burn it off so no point being on there, the suspension linkage will get a good dose as that's where I found a lot or rust after last winter but other than im stumped?

Finally got 100 miles out of a tank of fuel 🤗🤗 100.8 to be precise. Was risking it a bit waiting that long but wanted to make it into triple digits once haha



You got a 2.5 Gallon tank on that bike, or can't you get it out of second, 100.8 to the tank full FFS.  :eek
Reading up in FOC-U a lot FZ1 riders are getting between 48 and 52 MPG


I love the Mighty Thous but could not put up with 100 miles per tank full, its not the cost as much as the bloody inconvenience of spending so much riding time looking for and sitting on garage forecourts.


You must be filling up every 3 motorway service stations on long runs.


If you don't want to ride at much more than 130 mph I would suggest a FZS 600 then at least double + your miles to the gallon. and possibly get 230 from a tank full. :fish

Haha nah it just doesn't do many miles to the gallon, never has done but has been worse since I've had it tuned. Doesn't bother me to be honest as I bought it for fun not for MPG. I don't do many long runs and its only £15 for a full tank so still works out cheaper than the car. Thinking about it I only used to get 150 miles to a tank on my yzf600r when I was hooning it and about 200 when behaving


Excuse my potentially wayward maths,  but shouldn't a full tank cost at least £18? Unless either a) fuel has gone under a pound a litre since i was last home,  b) you're filling up in a timewarp to the 90's or c) you've still got another 4 litres in the tank and therefore another 30/40 miles available!


If i can't get 130 miles out of mine, it could be the shortest FZ1 ownership on record!

I've never managed to get more than £15 worth of fuel in mine and that's after the last bar has been flashing for a good 10 miles. It's supposedly got a 17 litre tank so either my petrol gauge is wildly wrong or ive got a sponge stuck in there haha I did question it a few months back but now I just accept it as is.
As i said its tuned quite a bit and goes like shit off a shovel so im not overly fussed. It's a toy as the end of the day not my sole form of transport.
